In Blazing Saddles, the governor makes a statement and his cabinet agrees with him by Harrumphing. He notices that one of the cabinet sat silently:
Gov [pointing]: I didn’t get a harrumph out of that guy.
Hedly Lamarr: Give the governor a harrumph.
Cabinet member [fearfully]: harrumph!
Since seeing that film, I’ve used “Harrumph” to agree with proclamations.
